How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

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.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Bath repair at your home in Stow Heath

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Stow Heath

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wolverhampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Will the repair show?
