Bath chip & crack repair in Moorend, Stockport
Damaged bath in Moorend? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath repair in Moorend without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Moorend, 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.
Do you need bath repair in Moorend?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moorend. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Moorend
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Moorend
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
