Bath repair for Brinnington homes

Landlord and trade work in Brinnington

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath repair in Brinnington without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Brinnington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Brinnington

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Brinnington: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

When can I have a bath again?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

When to call us in Brinnington

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Common reasons people in Brinnington contact us are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
