Bath repair at your home in Lickey
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath repair in Lickey
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Lickey?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What affects the price in Lickey
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lickey. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Lickey
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lickey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Lickey questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
We cover the entire UK, including Lickey and the rest of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
