About our bath repair in Elmdon
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Elmdon
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Elmdon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Elmdon
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Elmdon
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Solihull.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Elmdon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
