Why repair rather than replace?

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath repair in Wall under Heywood, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Do you need bath repair in Wall under Heywood?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
