What affects the price in Shut Heath

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Do you need bath repair in Shut Heath?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Shut Heath

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Shut Heath

What information do you need?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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