Common problems we fix in Cape Hill
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Cape Hill
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cape Hill. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
