Bath chip & crack repair in Marple Bridge, Stockport
Bath repair in and around Marple Bridge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
When to call us in Marple Bridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Bath repair in Marple Bridge without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marple Bridge
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
