Bath repair at your home in Summerfield
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.

Advice
Common questions in Summerfield
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We cover the whole UK, including Summerfield and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you work in Summerfield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Summerfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
