Bath chip & crack repair in Old Tame, Oldham
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Old Tame, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair at your home in Old Tame
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath repair in Old Tame
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Tame
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Old Tame
Common problems we fix in Old Tame
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
