Bath repair at your home in Barton upon Irwell
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What else we do in Barton upon Irwell
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Barton upon Irwell
What happens if you find more damage?

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Barton upon Irwell and the rest of Salford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
