Do you need bath repair in Solihull?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

Bath repair at your home in Solihull
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Solihull
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
