Bath Repair for Delph homes
Our technicians come to Delph for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Advice
Bath repair in Delph without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Delph as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Delph
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Delph
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Delph. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need bath repair in Delph
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Common questions in Delph
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
