Bath repair at your home in Bardsley

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bardsley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Bardsley

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Chips on the rim or sides
Chips caused by builders
Rust spots around the plughole
Impact holes in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Bardsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Bardsley

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

How hard the colour is to match
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How many areas need work
Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

What it’s made of, if you know
One sharp close-up of the damage
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Bardsley

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bardsley?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
