About our bath repair in Alcester

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alcester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Alcester

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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.

Questions from Alcester

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
