Bath repair in Heatley

Bath repair in Heatley, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Heatley

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heatley. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Heatley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
