About bath repair in B12

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What’s near Camp Hill

Typical jobs here are in homes near Birmingham Independent School of Performing Arts, Sparkhill Library and Highgate Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find The Moseley Arms Public House (under half a mile north-west), Ark St Alban's Academy (0.5 miles west), Holy Trinity Church (less than half a mile north) and Harper Bell Seventh-day Adventist School (under half a mile north-west). Camp Hill has its own railway station: Bordesley station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Bromwich Castle (4.6 miles north-east) and Sparkbrook and Small Heath (within half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Edgbaston Pool and Deer's Leap Wood.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Repairing versus replacing

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What we’re called out for in B12

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common questions in B12

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is it messy?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo an old repair?
