About our bath repair in Bentley Heath

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bentley Heath as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we are called out for in Bentley Heath

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Bentley Heath

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bentley Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Bentley Heath and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
