For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Do you need bath repair in Balterley Heath?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Balterley Heath clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
