How we handle bath repair in Saltley

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath repair in Saltley?

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches 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
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Saltley

What guarantee do I get?

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

When can I use it again after the repair?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Saltley?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How much does bath repair cost in Saltley?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B8 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
