Bath repair in Horseley Heath, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horseley Heath
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Horseley Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Horseley Heath, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we are called out for in Horseley Heath
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
