Bath repair at your home in Failsworth

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron 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 our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Failsworth?

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

Should I repair or replace?

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

When to call us in Failsworth

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
