Our bath repair service in B11

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Pricing in B11

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath repair

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What affects the price in B11

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to B11. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most clients in B11 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
