How to care for the repair

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Ettiley Heath

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What affects the price in Ettiley Heath

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ettiley Heath. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
