About bath repair in M12
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: 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 rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Prices in M12

Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What’s near Ardwick
In Ardwick, that means homes near Ardwick Green, Medlock Primary School and Ellen Wilkinson High School, among other places. Also close by are Manchester School of Acting (under half a mile west), University of Manchester Library (1 mile south-west), Former Church of St Thomas (within half a mile west) and Seven Stars pub (under half a mile north-east).

Green spaces nearby include Unicorn Grocery and Boating lake.

Repair or replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlords, agents and businesses in M12
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in M12 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
