Bath Repair in Lichfield

Do you need bath repair in Lichfield?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Lichfield without replacing anything

Most baths can be used again the next day. 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. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Questions from Lichfield

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in Lichfield?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Lichfield?

Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Lichfield and across Staffordshire.

Repair or replace in Lichfield?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How the visit works

On the day, 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
