- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Healey, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Healey
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Healey
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

FAQs for Healey
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What affects the price in Healey
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
