Common questions in Essington
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the entire of Wolverhampton?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you work in Essington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Essington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How we handle bath repair in Essington
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Essington as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WV11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Where we work around Essington
Essington is about 2 miles north of Willenhall, in Wolverhampton. From the centre of Essington to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. We cover 96 places across Wolverhampton. Our nearest city page is Birmingham, about 13 miles away.
All of WV11 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Hollybank Avenue, Hough Way and Kingsway and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Essington: Springhill (1 mile north-east), New Invention (1 mile south-east), Warstone (1 mile north), Mossley (2 miles east) and Westcroft (2 miles west).

Around Essington
We visit homes around St John's Primary Academy, The Minerva pub and Coppice Performing Arts School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Sneyd Comprehensive School (1.2 miles south-east) and St John the Evangelist (less than half a mile south-west). For rail, the closest station is Bloxwich North station, roughly 1.7 miles east of the centre.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we’re called out for in Essington
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Essington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Essington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
