How we handle bath repair in Elmdon Heath
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Elmdon Heath: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
All of Solihull, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmdon Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elmdon Heath. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Elmdon Heath
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
