About our bath repair in Blackley
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 regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Blackley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Blackley contact us are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your M9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Blackley
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your M9 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Blackley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Blackley and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
