Bath Repair in Hyde

Bath repair at your home in Hyde

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Common questions in Hyde

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do you come to Hyde?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hyde. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How much does bath repair cost in Hyde?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When to call us in Hyde

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 steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while we work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
