Bath repair in Ladywood

Bath repair in Ladywood, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ladywood

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Signs you need bath repair in Ladywood

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips under the taps

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Ladywood

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Ladywood?

We do. Technicians travel to Ladywood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
