Bath repair at your home in Ludworth
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stockport.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ludworth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Ludworth?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath repair in Ludworth
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
