Your questions about bath repair in Smethwick
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Common problems we fix in Smethwick

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath

What bath repair costs

- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smethwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smethwick
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smethwick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
