Bath repair in Elcock's Brook, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Repair or replace in Elcock's Brook?

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elcock's Brook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Elcock's Brook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When to call us in Elcock's Brook
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
