Bath repair in Firth Moor without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Firth Moor?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Firth Moor?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Firth Moor
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
