How we handle bath repair in Mellor
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mellor and across Stockport.

Questions from Mellor
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Mellor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mellor and the rest of Stockport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

When to call us in Mellor
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Mellor, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
