Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Ashton upon Mersey questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does bath repair cost in Ashton upon Mersey?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your M33 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton upon Mersey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Ashton upon Mersey?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
