Why repair rather than replace?

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bell Green. 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

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bell Green

If you manage property in Bell Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Bell Green

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

What affects the price in Bell Green

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bell Green. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
