Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Unsworth
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Our work in Unsworth
Unsworth is about 2 miles east of Radcliffe, in Bury. We visit homes and businesses in Unsworth and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Unsworth is one of 40 towns and villages in Bury where we work. We work right across the region, from Unsworth to Manchester (about 6 miles away).
Here we cover the M45 and BL9 postcode area. That includes homes on Parr Lane, Pole Lane and Castle Road. Nearby, we also work in Whitefield (1 mile south-west), Besses o' th' Barn (1 mile south), Simister (1 mile south-east), Pilsworth (1 mile north) and Bowlee (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Bury (3 miles north), Ramsbottom (6 miles north), Tottington (5 miles north-west), Elton (3 miles north-west), Brandlesholme (4 miles north) and Bolholt (3 miles north-west).

For rail, the closest station is Clifton station, roughly 2.8 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find Heaton Park Tramway Museum (1.6 miles south-east) and Swinton Shopping Centre (3.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Unsworth includes Nob End and Boating lake.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Unsworth
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Unsworth?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Unsworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
