Bath repair in Victoria Park, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What affects the price in Victoria Park
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Victoria Park
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Victoria Park and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
When to call us in Victoria Park
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
