Repair or replace in Failsworth?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Failsworth
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Failsworth. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Failsworth questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
