Hodge Hill questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hodge Hill and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Hodge Hill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How we handle bath repair in Hodge Hill
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hodge Hill
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from pictures 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Signs you need bath repair in Hodge Hill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
