Bath repair in Timperley, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Timperley. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Timperley
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover Timperley?
We do. Technicians travel to Timperley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath repair cost in Timperley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA15 postcode.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
