When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Birstall
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Common problems we fix in Birstall
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why Birstall customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Birstall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Birstall. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
