About our bath repair in Howbeck Bank
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. 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 on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Howbeck Bank: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
