Need bath repair in Lickey End?

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath repair at your home in Lickey End

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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 sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Lickey End

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Lickey End

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B60 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Questions from Lickey End

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lickey End.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Lickey End

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
