Landlords, agents and businesses in Crankwood
If you manage property in Crankwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common problems we fix in Crankwood
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crankwood. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Crankwood questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Wigan?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Crankwood?
We do. We send a technician to Crankwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
