  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Bath repair in Blackshaw Moor without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Blackshaw Moor

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
