About bath repair in B31

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in B31

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

B31: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How do I get a price for bath repair in B31?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
