What else we do in Moor Side
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Moor Side. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Moor Side, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Moor Side questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Moor Side
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
