Bath repair in Brownhills, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Brownhills

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlord and trade work in Brownhills

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Brownhills, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Do you need bath repair in Brownhills?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Common reasons people in Brownhills contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
