Book bath repair in Flackwell Heath

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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, generally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Flackwell Heath

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Flackwell Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Flackwell Heath. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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

Are there extra charges for Flackwell Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

When to call us in Flackwell Heath

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Flackwell Heath

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

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
