About our bath repair in Mottram in Longdendale

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Mottram in Longdendale

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start 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.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need bath repair in Mottram in Longdendale?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Mottram in Longdendale questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Mottram in Longdendale?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mottram in Longdendale and the rest of Tameside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
