Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone

Bath repair in Handforth without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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’s the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Handforth
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
