Bath repair at your home in M28
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
What it costs in M28
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landmarks near Walkden
Our customers here include homes close to The Ellesmere Public House, Church of St Paul and The Lowry Academy, among other places. There’s a railway station in Walkden itself: Walkden station.

How the damage happens
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

What affects the price in M28
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for M28. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from M28
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
