Trusted bath repair in Heathfield

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath repair at your home in Heathfield

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What affects the price in Heathfield

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heathfield, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Heathfield

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Heathfield

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Your questions about bath repair in Heathfield

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
