FAQs for Heather
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover Heather?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Heather. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Heather?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Bath repair at your home in Heather
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Heather
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heather as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What else we do in Heather
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Heather
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Heather. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Heather
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Heather. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
