Bath chip & crack repair in Paddington, Greater Manchester
Bath repair in and around Paddington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, 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.

FAQs for Paddington
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Paddington?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Most customers in Paddington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
