How we handle bath repair in Oldbury
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. 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.

Signs you need bath repair in Oldbury
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while we work
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
In fairness, 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

- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
