Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Do you need bath repair in Hinksford?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Common reasons people in Hinksford contact us include:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinksford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hinksford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Hinksford

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Hinksford

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hinksford. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Hinksford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath repair in Hinksford

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dudley.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

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.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
