Bath repair near Holt Heath

What affects the price in Holt Heath

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath repair in Holt Heath without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Holt Heath

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Heath

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we’re called out for in Holt Heath

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Holt Heath?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re 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.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
