Common problems we fix in Oldbury

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Oldbury

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Oldbury

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, 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 picture.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
