Common problems we fix in Coleshill
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, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts

Bath repair at your home in Coleshill
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. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Coleshill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Coleshill.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

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