Questions from Breightmet
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Breightmet?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Bath repair in Breightmet without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on roll-top & freestanding, 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.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What affects the price in Breightmet
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Breightmet
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Breightmet
If you manage property in Breightmet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What we are called out for in Breightmet
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What we do, step by step

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
