Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

If you manage property in Abbey Hills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbey Hills use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Abbey Hills.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
