- Impact holes in acrylic

Bath repair in Dudley without replacing anything

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dudley as everywhere else we work.
Repairing versus replacing in Dudley
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

FAQs for Dudley
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dudley.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dudley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Dudley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
