How we handle bath repair in Wigan
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. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
FAQs for Wigan
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Wigan?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Wigan and the surrounding area.
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.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Wigan?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WN3 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
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 before you book.

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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Wigan
Most bath damage comes from something 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, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in Wigan
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
