Bath Repair for Macclesfield homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Macclesfield, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Macclesfield without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Macclesfield
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Macclesfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Macclesfield and the rest of Cheshire East. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Macclesfield. Prices do not change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Macclesfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we’re called out for in Macclesfield
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
