Bath repair at your home in Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chorlton-cum-Hardy
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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’s what we repair.
Repair or replace in Chorlton-cum-Hardy?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Is there a guarantee?

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
