What we’re called out for in Osbaston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Osbaston
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Osbaston questions
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Osbaston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Osbaston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
