Withington: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover Withington?
We do. Technicians travel to Withington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Withington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Bath repair at your home in Withington
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Withington
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
Landlords, agents and businesses in Withington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Withington clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
