Lea Heath: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Bath repair in Lea Heath, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lea Heath. 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
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Lea Heath

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Landlord and trade work in Lea Heath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lea Heath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
