Questions from Ramsbottom

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ramsbottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ramsbottom use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 will tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ramsbottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BL0 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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