About bath repair in B96

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

What’s near Astwood Bank

We visit homes around St Matthias & St George, Oddfellows Arms and Astwood Bank Primary School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Redditch station, roughly 3.3 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find Alexandra Hospital (1.9 miles north-east) and Redditch Local History Museum (3.3 miles north). Green spaces nearby include River Arrow Nature Reserve.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in B96 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

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.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

B96: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
