Bath repair at your home in Oldbury
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oldbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Oldbury questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Oldbury and the rest of Sandwell. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Oldbury
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
