How we handle bath repair in Partington

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

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

What we are called out for in Partington

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Partington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Partington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Partington

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your M31 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Trafford.

What do you need from me?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Partington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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.
