Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Your questions about bath repair in Baddesley Clinton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Solihull and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

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 what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Repairing versus replacing in Baddesley Clinton

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
