Our 30 years experience serving Birmingham means we understand the unique challenges of Handsworth's diverse housing stock, from the grand Victorian villas along Westminster Road to modern conversions near Soho Road.

Handsworth's housing diversity creates varied bath repair challenges. The Victorian terraces along Antrobus Road and Holly Road often feature original cast iron baths showing their age with chips, rust patches, and worn enamel. These period features add character but require specialist restoration techniques we've perfected over 30 years experience.
The 1930s semi-detached properties around Handsworth Wood typically have pressed steel baths installed during post-war renovations. These frequently develop chips around the edges where the enamel is thinnest, particularly near overflow areas. The tree-lined streets create damp conditions that accelerate deterioration if damage isn't promptly addressed.
Modern developments near Holyhead Road and the numerous HMO conversions throughout Handsworth often feature budget acrylic baths prone to cracking and discoloration. High tenant turnover means these baths see intensive use, leading to surface scratches, chemical staining from harsh cleaners, and stress cracks around waste areas.
The area's cultural diversity brings unique considerations - many households prefer shower-over-bath setups requiring robust waterproofing around repair areas. We ensure all bath repairs accommodate these preferences while maintaining complete water resistance.
Birmingham's variable climate affects Handsworth properties differently through the year. Winter's freezing temperatures cause expansion damage in older cast iron baths, while summer humidity in Victorian properties without modern ventilation accelerates surface deterioration. Our repair techniques account for these seasonal variations, ensuring longevity regardless of weather conditions.

Initial Assessment: Every bath repair Handsworth job begins with thorough inspection. We identify all damage, test the substrate integrity, and check for hidden problems. This is crucial in older Handsworth properties where previous repairs might be concealed under layers of paint.
Preparation: We protect your bathroom completely using professional dust sheets and masking. The bath surface is then cleaned, degreased, and prepared using specialized compounds. Any old sealant is removed and the area is made perfectly clean for optimal adhesion.
Repair Application: Using color-matched materials, we rebuild damaged areas layer by layer. Chips are filled, cracks are reinforced with fiberglass mesh, and surfaces are built up gradually. Each layer is cured and sanded to ensure invisible repairs.
Surface Finishing: The final coating is applied using professional spray equipment or hand application depending on the repair type. This creates a factory-quality finish that matches your bath perfectly. The surface is then polished to the correct sheen level.
Quality Check & Warranty: Before leaving, we test all repairs, ensure perfect color matching, and provide care instructions. You receive written confirmation of our 12 months warranty and aftercare guide to maximize repair longevity.
