Bath Repair near Salford

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Salford

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 costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Salford. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Salford

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, any chip down to 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Repairing versus replacing in Salford

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Salford

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Salford?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Salford and the surrounding area.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

When can I use it again after the repair?

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

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

Do you protect the room?

Do you come to Salford?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When we’d advise against a repair

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.
