DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
FAQs for Forhill
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Forhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forhill
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath repair in Forhill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
