If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About our bath repair in Hindley Green

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hindley Green as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

FAQs for Hindley Green

Are there extra charges for Hindley Green?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

Everywhere in the UK, Hindley Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Repair or replace in Hindley Green?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Hindley Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
