Bath repair in Wythenshawe 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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

What happens on the day

When we visit, 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 few hours. 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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Questions from Wythenshawe

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords and businesses in Wythenshawe book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Wythenshawe and across Greater Manchester.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do you cover Wythenshawe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wythenshawe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M22 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

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

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

Signs you need bath repair in Wythenshawe

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Scratches and burns

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
