About our bath repair in Row Heath
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Row Heath
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Row Heath?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Row Heath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Row Heath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
