Bath repair in Eccles 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 fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Eccles
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Eccles. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eccles
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eccles as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Eccles
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
