What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Bath repair in Fallowfield, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Fallowfield?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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.

Fallowfield questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Fallowfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fallowfield

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fallowfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
