Bath repair at your home in Bubbenhall
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Bubbenhall
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Warwickshire.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Bubbenhall is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
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 early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Bubbenhall
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Bubbenhall contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Bubbenhall, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Bubbenhall
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
