Bath repair in Outwood without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Outwood
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Worcestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Outwood
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Outwood: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When to call us in Outwood
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Outwood. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
