Bath repair in Southside without replacing anything

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, 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

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

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done 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. 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. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Advice

FAQs for Southside

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you protect the room?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up when we finish.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Southside?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Repair or replace in Southside?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Southside

Nearly all the chips we see 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, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Scratches and burns
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while we work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
