Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Bath repair at your home in Quarry Bank

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Quarry Bank

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Quarry Bank?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DY5 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Dudley?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Quarry Bank. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What affects the price in Quarry Bank

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Common problems we fix in Quarry Bank

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
