About our bath repair in Rusholme
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
FAQs for Rusholme
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Rusholme?
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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Rusholme
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
