Bath repair in Audenshaw, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Tameside.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What we’re called out for in Audenshaw
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Audenshaw. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
