About our bath repair in Yardley

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Yardley

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Do you need bath repair in Yardley?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
