About our bath repair in Altrincham
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Altrincham
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Altrincham.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Altrincham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Altrincham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Altrincham
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
