Bath repair in Blackley without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Blackley?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Blackley
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
