Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bordesley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Bordesley

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, 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.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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 you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Bordesley

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Bordesley contact us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
