How we handle bath repair in Fishpool
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What else we do in Fishpool
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Fishpool?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include

Your questions about bath repair in Fishpool
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fishpool?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Fishpool and the rest of Bury. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repairing versus replacing in Fishpool
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
