Helland questions

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Helland?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA3 postcode.

Bath repair in Helland without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Helland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most customers in Helland get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Helland

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

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Landlord and trade work in Helland

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in Helland

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
