Your questions about bath repair in Higher Hurdsfield
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Higher Hurdsfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
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’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Higher Hurdsfield
