Bath repair in Gorton, done in place
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. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Your questions about bath repair in Gorton

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When to call us in Gorton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Landlord and trade work in Gorton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Gorton
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
