How we handle bath repair in Benhall Green
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Benhall Green
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Benhall Green
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Benhall Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Benhall Green: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
