How we handle bath repair in Bierley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bierley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Bierley
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does bath repair cost in Bierley?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When to call us in Bierley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
