What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Middleton. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath repair in Middleton without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Middleton?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Middleton

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Middleton: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath repair in Middleton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets 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.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Middleton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Middleton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
