Bath repair in Heathlane, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heathlane as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Heathlane
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Heathlane: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Heathlane?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
