Bath repair at your home in Tyldesley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tyldesley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Tyldesley: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wigan.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace in Tyldesley?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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’s the part we put right.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Tyldesley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
