Bath repair across OL4: what to expect

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Prices in OL4

Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
A steel bath rusted through

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

Rinse it down after each bath
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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 without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in OL4

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in OL4 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

Access to the area
The material and finish
What kind of damage it is
How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for OL4. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Where you are, by postcode
One picture of the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for OL4

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of Oldham?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in OL4.
