Bath repair in Handsworth, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Handsworth questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Handsworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

Do you need bath repair in Handsworth?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
