The process
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. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
About our bath repair in Dudley
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dudley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What else we do in Dudley
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Dudley
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NE23 postcode.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dudley. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Dudley
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Dudley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
