FAQs for Quick
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Tameside. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work in Quick?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Quick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Quick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Signs you need bath repair in Quick
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
