Bath repair in Heaton Moor

Bath repair in Heaton Moor, 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, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Heaton Moor get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Should you replace it?

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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heaton Moor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

Do you need bath repair in Heaton Moor?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Heaton Moor, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

FAQs for Heaton Moor

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
