Bath repair near Lower Heath

Bath repair in Lower Heath, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Lower Heath: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

What we are called out for in Lower Heath

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Heath. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
