- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
About our bath repair in Mansbridge
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairing versus replacing in Mansbridge
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mansbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Mansbridge clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in Mansbridge
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath repair in Mansbridge
Do you work in Mansbridge?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mansbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mansbridge. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
