Bath repair across M18: what to expect

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Around Openshaw

In Openshaw, that means homes near Varna Community Primary School, Wright Robinson College and The Vulcan pub and the streets around them.

Further afield, we also cover the area around Manchester Royal Infirmary (2.4 miles west) and Manchester Precinct Centre (2.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Boating lake and Unicorn Grocery.

Local facilities include Droylsden West (1.3 miles north-east)

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

The type of damage
Whether we combine several jobs
Unusual colours or finishes
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode
The material, if you know it
A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Questions from M18

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in M18?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your M18 postcode.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
