Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Common problems we fix in Little Hulton

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

Common reasons people in Little Hulton contact us are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Little Hulton

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will I be able to see the repair?

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

How much does bath repair cost in Little Hulton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
