Bath Repair in Oldham

How bath repair works in Oldham

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What it costs in Oldham

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldham

For anyone letting property in or around Oldham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How the damage happens

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps

Your questions about bath repair in Oldham

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you come to Oldham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Oldham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
