Bath Repair in Handsworth Wood

When to call us in Handsworth Wood

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Scratches and burns
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair at your home in Handsworth Wood

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price
