What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath repair in Walsall without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Walsall.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Walsall questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Walsall.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Walsall included. Travel is included in the price.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
