Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Sparkbrook
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Sparkbrook
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sparkbrook. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Sparkbrook?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sparkbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Sparkbrook
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Sparkbrook
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
