- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hellington. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hellington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Landlord and trade work in Hellington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Hellington
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions from Hellington
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hellington.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hellington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
