Bath Repair for Rochdale homes
Problem with your bath in Rochdale? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
About our bath repair in Rochdale
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rochdale. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Rochdale
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

Questions from Rochdale
Is a bath repair durable?
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?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rochdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
