Bath repair in Hawkesley without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Hawkesley?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hawkesley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Hawkesley
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hawkesley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B38 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Hawkesley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Hawkesley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hawkesley and the rest of Birmingham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkesley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?
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. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
