Bath repair across M6: what to expect
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Pricing in M6
Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. 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.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in M6
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common questions in M6
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
