Bath repair for Heston homes

Bath repair in Heston without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Heston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace in Heston?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Heston questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Heston

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.
