Bath repair across WS3: what to expect

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Repairing versus replacing

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, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

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, so it’s always worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in WS3 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Your questions about bath repair in WS3

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Walsall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
