How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Short Heath: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Short Heath?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wolverhampton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Short Heath

Landlords, agents and businesses in Short Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Short Heath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Short Heath
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
