FAQs for Walkden
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Bath repair in Walkden, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Walkden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Other services in Walkden
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairing versus replacing in Walkden
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Signs you need bath repair in Walkden
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
What affects the price in Walkden
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
