Bath Repair in Inskip Moss Side
We travel to Inskip Moss Side for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
About our bath repair in Inskip Moss Side
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. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

Common problems we fix in Inskip Moss Side
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
