Bath repair at your home in Droylsden
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Droylsden
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Droylsden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Droylsden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
What we are called out for in Droylsden
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
