Bath repair in Winson Green, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Winson Green
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Winson Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Winson Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we’re called out for in Winson Green
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
