Bath repair in Healey

Bath repair in Healey without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Healey: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

Everywhere in the UK, Healey included. Travel is included in the price.

What affects the price in Healey

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Healey. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Healey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Healey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Healey?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Healey clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Healey

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
