About bath repair in SK7
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Prices in SK7
Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Around Hazel Grove
We visit homes around Hazel Grove High School, The Wilfred Wood pub and Church of St Thomas and the streets around them. Hazel Grove has its own railway station: Hazel Grove station. Nearby you will also find Hat Works (2.7 miles north-west) and Stockport Rural District (2.1 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Werneth Low.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for SK7. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for SK7. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in SK7, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
What we are called out for in SK7
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
SK7: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
