Need bath repair in Whitehouse Common?

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath repair in Whitehouse Common without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Whitehouse Common?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitehouse Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Signs you need bath repair in Whitehouse Common

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

FAQs for Whitehouse Common

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Whitehouse Common. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Whitehouse Common?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
