Questions from Healing

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Bath repair in Healing without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Healing, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Healing

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Healing

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Healing

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
