Bath repair for Tamworth homes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we handle bath repair in Tamworth

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Tamworth questions

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

  • Rust spots around the plughole

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
