Bath repair at your home in Irwell Vale
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

Irwell Vale: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are there extra charges for Irwell Vale?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Irwell Vale
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Irwell Vale?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
