About our bath repair in Davyhulme
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need bath repair in Davyhulme
Most bath damage comes from something 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.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always 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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Davyhulme use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
FAQs for Davyhulme
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
