Heddington: your questions answered

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

How we handle bath repair in Heddington

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heddington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Heddington

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Heddington. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
