Bath repair for Lee Bank homes

Bath repair at your home in Lee Bank

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Lee Bank

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?

Across the UK, so Lee Bank is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Landlord and trade work in Lee Bank

If you manage property in Lee Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Lee Bank

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we are called out for in Lee Bank

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
