Trusted bath repair in Stretford

Bath repair in Stretford without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

How much does bath repair cost in Stretford?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your M32 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

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.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Repairing versus replacing in Stretford

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

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 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. 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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Stretford?

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
