What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. 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 children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Handsworth

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace in Handsworth?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need bath repair in Handsworth?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Handsworth. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Handsworth

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
