About our bath repair in Poynton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
FAQs for Poynton
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Poynton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poynton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
