Bath repair in Bowdon, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bowdon and across Trafford.

Repair or replace in Bowdon?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Bowdon
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bowdon?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
