Bath repair at your home in Chadderton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common questions in Chadderton
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chadderton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Chadderton?
We do. Technicians travel to Chadderton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Chadderton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Chadderton contact us are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
