How we handle bath repair in Ardwick
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and scratches and burns.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Questions from Ardwick
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Ardwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ardwick and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords and businesses in Ardwick book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Ardwick
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
