Our bath repair service in SK6
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Prices in SK6
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in SK6
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SK6 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in SK6
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for SK6?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
