Bath chip & crack repair in Flixton, Trafford

- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Flixton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Flixton questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you work in Flixton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Flixton and the rest of Trafford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Flixton.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Flixton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Flixton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- Everything repaired in place
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Pressed steel enamel

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
