How we handle bath repair in Tipton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Tipton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Tipton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tipton and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What else we do in Tipton
Do you need bath repair in Tipton?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tipton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
