Bath repair for Manningham homes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair at your home in Manningham

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Manningham

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Manningham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Manningham?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bradford.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

We work UK-wide, so Manningham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

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

Will the repair show?

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
