About our bath repair in Balsall Common

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Balsall Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What affects the price in Balsall Common

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balsall Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Balsall Common and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Balsall Common

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
