Bath Repair near Altrincham

How we handle bath repair in Altrincham

Most baths can be used again the next day. 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 and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Trafford. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

How much does bath repair cost in Altrincham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
