Bath Repair in Selly Oak

How we handle bath repair in Selly Oak

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 costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on cast iron 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.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Selly Oak?

Nearly all the chips we see 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, usually near the taps or the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

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
