Bath repair at your home in Cradley
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Your questions about bath repair in Cradley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cradley. Prices do not change with location.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work in Cradley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cradley and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What we are called out for in Cradley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Cradley contact us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. 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 are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
