About our bath repair in Chorlton-by-Backford
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Chorlton-by-Backford
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Do you need bath repair in Chorlton-by-Backford?
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Chorlton-by-Backford questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Chorlton-by-Backford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chorlton-by-Backford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
