Fixed-price bath repair in Heronfield and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath repair in Heronfield, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
FAQs for Heronfield
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Solihull. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath repair in Heronfield?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
