Bath repair at your home in WV8
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What’s near Codsall
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Nicholas Church of England First School, Codsall Community High School and St Nicholas' Church, among other places. There is a railway station in Codsall itself: Codsall station. Well-known places in the area include Wolverhampton and Midland Counties Eye Infirmary (3.8 miles south-east) and Tettenhall Transport Heritage Centre (2.6 miles south-east).
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the damage happens
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Landlord and trade work in WV8
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Questions from WV8

Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
