Bath repair in Perry Barr

Bath repair in Perry Barr, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

Perry Barr: your questions answered

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Perry Barr?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Perry Barr?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Perry Barr get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Perry Barr

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
