- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Oldham
You can usually use the bath 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 and the tiles around it. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

When to call us in Oldham
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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

When we’d advise against a repair
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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
