DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Hollywood End: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you come to Hollywood End?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hollywood End and the rest of Stockport. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollywood End

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stockport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Hollywood End

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hollywood End

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Hollywood End clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
