Bath repair at your home in Droylsden
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

How it works
When we visit, 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Nearby places to Droylsden
Also in Droylsden
Do you need bath repair in Droylsden?
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while we work
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
