DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath repair in Moseley, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Moseley
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
