Eccles: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Bath repair in Eccles without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Eccles. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need bath repair in Eccles
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
