Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Golborne questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Warrington.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Common problems we fix in Golborne

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Golborne

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Golborne, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
