About our bath repair in Witton

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Common problems we fix in Witton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Witton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price
