Bath repair at your home in Yew Tree
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yew Tree and across Walsall.

Common problems we fix in Yew Tree

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:

Questions from Yew Tree
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What affects the price in Yew Tree

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairing versus replacing in Yew Tree
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Yew Tree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
