DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Walmley, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common problems we fix in Walmley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Walmley questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Walmley?
We do. We send a technician to Walmley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Walmley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walmley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
