Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath repair in Chorlton-on-Medlock without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Chorlton-on-Medlock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath repair in Chorlton-on-Medlock?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Chorlton-on-Medlock?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
