How we handle bath repair in Heggatt Street
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 so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

When to call us in Heggatt Street
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Heggatt Street

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Heggatt Street. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Heggatt Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Heggatt Street
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
