How we handle bath repair in Trafford Park
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 fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trafford Park as everywhere else we work.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we 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.
Questions from Trafford Park
Do you work in Trafford Park?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Trafford Park from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the entire of Trafford?
All of Trafford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

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 work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
