Bath repair in Moston

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath repair at your home in Moston

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Moston

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Moston. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Moston

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Moston

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How much does bath repair cost in Moston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

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

Landlord and trade work in Moston

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Moston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
