Bath repair at your home in Birchover
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Birchover
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic

What we’re called out for in Birchover
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t 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, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
