Bath repair for Littlemoss homes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Littlemoss

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Littlemoss and across Tameside.

Repair or replace in Littlemoss?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Littlemoss

Is a bath repair durable?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Littlemoss and the rest of Tameside. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

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

What we are called out for in Littlemoss

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
