Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Over Knutsford
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Over Knutsford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Over Knutsford
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Over Knutsford questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
