Trusted bath repair in Rodbaston

Bath repair in Rodbaston without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Rodbaston

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Rodbaston

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Rodbaston clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Rodbaston questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Rodbaston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you come to Rodbaston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rodbaston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Rodbaston

  • Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
