Bath repair for Wellington Heath homes

How we price bath repair

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

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Wellington Heath get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in Wellington Heath without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wellington Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Wellington Heath?

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
