Bath repair in Albrighton without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath repair in Albrighton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Other services in Albrighton
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Albrighton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Albrighton questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Albrighton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Albrighton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
