How we handle bath repair in Denton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Denton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
