About our bath repair in Heaton Mersey
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?

Signs you need bath repair in Heaton Mersey
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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 early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
