- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Bath repair in Cross Gate without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Cross Gate questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How much does bath repair cost in Cross Gate?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlord and trade work in Cross Gate
For anyone letting property in or around Cross Gate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath repair in Cross Gate?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
