How we handle bath repair in Old Oscott
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. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Old Oscott questions
How much does bath repair cost in Old Oscott?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Sandwell, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for 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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Old Oscott
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
