Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridge Trafford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Bath repair at your home in Bridge Trafford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bridge Trafford. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Bridge Trafford
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bridge Trafford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CH2 postcode.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When to call us in Bridge Trafford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
