When to call us in Norton Green

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norton Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Norton Green

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

All of Solihull, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
