Book bath repair in Priory Heath

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

About our bath repair in Priory Heath

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Priory Heath

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Priory Heath

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Priory Heath?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Are there extra charges for Priory Heath?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Priory Heath and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Priory Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
