Repairing versus replacing in Hyde
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Hyde
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common questions in Hyde
Do you work in Hyde?
We do. We send a technician to Hyde for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of Tameside, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Common problems we fix in Hyde
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What else we do in Hyde
Landlord and trade work in Hyde
For anyone letting property in or around Hyde, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for 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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
