Bath repair in Denton without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Denton questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Denton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
