About our bath repair in Heysham

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Common questions in Heysham

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heysham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Heysham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Heysham?

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Heysham

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
