DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath repair in Castlefield
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Questions from Castlefield
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Castlefield?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Common problems we fix in Castlefield
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castlefield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Castlefield
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
