Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Cowhill, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

What affects the price in Cowhill
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Cowhill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

- 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.
