Local bath repair for Birch: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Bath repair at your home in Birch
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
There are no surprise 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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Birch questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Rochdale.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Birch?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
