Bath repair near Netherton

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not 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 usually the cheaper route.

How we handle bath repair in Netherton

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Common questions in Netherton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Dudley?

The entire UK, including all of Dudley. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What we’re called out for in Netherton

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Netherton

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. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
