How bath repair works in OL16
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How the damage happens
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Landlords, agents and businesses in OL16
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rochdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Your questions about bath repair in OL16
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
