How we handle bath repair in Manselton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Manselton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Manselton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
FAQs for Manselton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Manselton?

Do you do work for letting agents?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How much does bath repair cost in Manselton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What else we do in Manselton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
