Bath repair at your home in Royton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

What else we do in Royton
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Royton
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
