Bath repair at your home in Bourne Vale
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Bourne Vale
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bourne Vale. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Bourne Vale
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
All of Walsall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is 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 repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

What we’re called out for in Bourne Vale
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
