What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Common problems we fix in Styal
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Your questions about bath repair in Styal
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlord and trade work in Styal
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Styal, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
