Bath repair in Moseley

Bath repair in Moseley without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Moseley

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

Common questions in Moseley

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover Moseley?

We do. We send a technician to Moseley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Moseley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
