When to call us in South Reddish

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in South Reddish

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

South Reddish questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in South Reddish

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
