The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath repair in Belle Vue
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work in Belle Vue?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Belle Vue for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repair or replace in Belle Vue?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Belle Vue. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Belle Vue
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Belle Vue
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Belle Vue
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
