Surface repairs across M26

How bath repair works in M26

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for M26. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Around Radcliffe

Typical jobs here are in homes near Derby High School, Church of St Thomas and Gorsefield Primary School, among other places. Radcliffe’s nearest station is Kearsley station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Swinton Shopping Centre (3.6 miles south) and The Fusilier Museum (2.2 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Nob End.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in M26

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in M26

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bury.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
