How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Northern Quarter

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater Manchester.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M4 postcode.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northern Quarter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Northern Quarter?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater Manchester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
