About our bath repair in Whalley Range
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Whalley Range?
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whalley Range. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Your questions about bath repair in Whalley Range
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Whalley Range?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whalley Range from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?
The whole UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whalley Range use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
