Repair or replace in Heydon?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath repair in Heydon without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Heydon
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
