What affects the price in Mosley Common

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Mosley Common

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Salford.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlord and trade work in Mosley Common

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Mosley Common

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around 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.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Repairing versus replacing in Mosley Common

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
