Landlord and trade work in Wolverhampton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Bath repair in Wolverhampton without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Wolverhampton questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does bath repair cost in Wolverhampton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Wolverhampton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wolverhampton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
