About our bath repair in West Smethwick
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West Smethwick. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
West Smethwick questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
