Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Solihull Lodge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Solihull Lodge?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Solihull Lodge questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Solihull Lodge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Solihull Lodge?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
