Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Middleton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath repair in Middleton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Common problems we fix in Middleton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Middleton contact us are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
FAQs for Middleton
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
