Trusted bath repair in Leigh

Bath repair at your home in Leigh

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. 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 rust spots where the enamel has gone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

What a repair can’t fix

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.

Surfaces we repair

FAQs for Leigh

What guarantee do I get?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Leigh?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Leigh and the rest of Wigan. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up before we leave.

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 you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How soon can I use it again?

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

When to call us in Leigh

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day, 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
