Bath repair for Birchley Heath homes

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Bath repair at your home in Birchley Heath

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. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Birchley Heath

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Birchley Heath. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Landlord and trade work in Birchley Heath

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Birchley Heath

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
