Bath repair at your home in Stirchley
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 and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and scratches and burns.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Stirchley
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, any chip down to 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
