Bath repair at your home in Rakewood
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Rakewood: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Rakewood?
We do. We send a technician to Rakewood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What else we do in Rakewood
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath repair in Rakewood?
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.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

What affects the price in Rakewood
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OL15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
