Common questions in Chadkirk
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Chadkirk?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chadkirk and the rest of Stockport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Chadkirk?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Bath repair at your home in Chadkirk
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Chadkirk?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Common problems we fix in Chadkirk
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chadkirk use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
