Bath repair in Sholver, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Sholver
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sholver. The price reflects:

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Sholver and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Sholver: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work in Sholver?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sholver and the rest of Oldham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sholver, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace in Sholver?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
