DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Butlocks Heath and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 is the part we put right.
FAQs for Butlocks Heath
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Butlocks Heath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Butlocks Heath?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Butlocks Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Butlocks Heath
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
