Questions from West Gorton
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How much does bath repair cost in West Gorton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Bath repair at your home in West Gorton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Gorton and across Greater Manchester.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we’re called out for in West Gorton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in West Gorton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
