When to call us in Helme
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Helme
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Helme
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair show?
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.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
