Bath repair at your home in Gigg
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Gigg: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Landlord and trade work in Gigg
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gigg use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gigg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
