How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Denton
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Signs you need bath repair in Denton
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions from Denton
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Denton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M34 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords and businesses in Denton book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Denton and across Tameside.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Denton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
