Bath repair in Bell Green without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

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’s the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bell Green

Bell Green: your questions answered

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
