Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Osbaston, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Telford and Wrekin.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Osbaston. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath repair in Osbaston
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What we can’t put right

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
