Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cradley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Cradley
Do you work in Cradley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cradley and the rest of Dudley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the entire of Dudley?
All of Dudley, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cradley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
