Bath repair in Lickey Hills, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lickey Hills use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
If you’re in Lickey Hills and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath repair in Lickey Hills
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Lickey Hills
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lickey Hills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
