Bath repair at your home in Albrighton

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Albrighton

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

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

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.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Questions from Albrighton

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

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

Repair or replace in Albrighton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Albrighton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.

Common reasons people in Albrighton contact us include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
