Bath repair for The Heath homes

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Look after 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.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair in The Heath without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The Heath: your questions answered

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in The Heath.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What we are called out for in The Heath

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in The Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in The Heath, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
