Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Bath repair at your home in Heaton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Questions from Heaton
Do you work in Heaton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Heaton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath repair cost in Heaton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Heaton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Heaton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bolton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Heaton. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
