Common questions in Healey
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Healey?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Healey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Bath repair in Healey without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Healey
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Healey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
