Bath repair at your home in Edlaston
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Edlaston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
- A steel bath rusted through

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Questions from Edlaston
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Edlaston
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Edlaston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Edlaston
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
