What we can’t put right

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

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we work on in Camps Heath

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Camps Heath. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
