Bath repair at your home in Bury
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Bury
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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.

When to call us in Bury
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Bury
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Bury and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What affects the price in Bury
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bury. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Bury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
