Bath repair in Stretford, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Stretford
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
