How we price bath repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath repair in Dunham Woodhouses

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can I have a bath again?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repair or replace in Dunham Woodhouses?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not 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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlord and trade work in Dunham Woodhouses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Trafford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
