How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we handle bath repair in Saltley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Saltley?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us

Common questions in Saltley
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Saltley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B8 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Saltley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Saltley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Saltley. Prices do not change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
