Bath repair at your home in Chinatown
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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Chinatown and the surrounding area
Chinatown is about 1 miles west of Manchester, in Greater Manchester. We travel to customers in Chinatown and nearby villages, so nothing has to leave your home. Chinatown is one of 72 towns and villages in Greater Manchester we cover.
We cover every part of the M1, M3 and M2 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Bow Lane, Tib Lane and New Market and the roads around them. Chinatown is on the A56 and A6042, so it’s easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover Northern Quarter (1 mile north-east), Little Ireland (1 mile south), Ancoats (1 mile north-east), All Saints (1 mile south) and Castlefield (1 mile west). Chinatown is one of the larger places we cover in Greater Manchester.
Landmarks near Chinatown
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Cross Street Chapel, Abbey College Manchester and City College Manchester. Chinatown’s nearest station is Manchester Oxford Road station, roughly less than half a mile south. A little further out are Cube Gallery (less than half a mile south) and Royal Exchange (less than half a mile north-west). Not far away are Boating lake and Unicorn Grocery.
Signs you need bath repair in Chinatown
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

Repairing versus replacing in Chinatown
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Chinatown
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Chinatown?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chinatown. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up when we finish.
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.
Can landlords and businesses in Chinatown book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Chinatown and across Greater Manchester.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Chinatown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M1 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
