How we handle bath repair in The Quays
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester.

Questions from The Quays
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes The Quays. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to The Quays?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to The Quays. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.

Landlord and trade work in The Quays
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Quays as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we are called out for in The Quays
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
