Bath repair in Luzley without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Luzley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Luzley questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Luzley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Luzley and the rest of Tameside. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Luzley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Luzley
