How we handle bath repair in Cragg Vale
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Cragg Vale
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cragg Vale
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
