Bath Repair in Reddish

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How we handle bath repair in Reddish

Most baths can be used again the next day. 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. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Repairing versus replacing in Reddish

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Reddish

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Reddish questions

What guarantee do I get?

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

What about rust by the waste?

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

Do you protect the room?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Reddish?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK5 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Reddish?

Do you come to Reddish?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Reddish. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, 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 before you book.
