Landlord and trade work in Moss Houses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moss Houses as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
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.
About our bath repair in Moss Houses
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Moss Houses
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Moss Houses questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you come to Moss Houses?
We do. We send a technician to Moss Houses for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Moss Houses?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK11 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Signs you need bath repair in Moss Houses
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Moss Houses. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
