Mrs. Thompson discovered her original 1890s cast iron bath had multiple chips and worn enamel when renovating her two-bedroom terrace near All Saints Church. The bath's ball-and-claw feet made removal impossible without damaging the Victorian floor tiles. Our technician spent four hours carefully restoring the enamel, colour-matching the original white perfectly. Total cost: £395, compared to £3,000+ for replacement and potential floor damage. The bath now looks pristine and maintains the property's period character - crucial in Kings Heath's conservation-conscious market.
The Patel family's Art Deco bathroom featured a mint green bath - a rare 1930s colour impossible to replace. Years of use had created chips around the overflow and tap area. Using our specialist colour-matching system, we perfectly recreated the vintage shade and repaired all damage in just three hours. Cost: £325, preserving this unique feature that estate agents value highly in Kings Heath's period properties. The repair comes with our full 12 months warranty, giving complete peace of mind.
Our bath repair Kings Heath service uses advanced techniques perfected over 30 years experience working on Birmingham properties. The area's mix of period and modern homes means we encounter everything from original Victorian cast iron tubs to contemporary acrylic suites, each requiring specific expertise.
For the numerous cast iron baths in Kings Heath's older properties, we begin with thorough rust treatment - essential given Birmingham's humidity. Our process removes all corrosion before applying specialist primers that prevent future rust formation. The new enamel coating we apply actually exceeds original specifications, providing superior durability for modern use.
Chip repairs in enamel baths require particular skill. We use colour-matched compounds that bond permanently with the existing surface, creating invisible repairs even on close inspection. Our technicians carry samples from every major manufacturer plus custom colours for period baths - vital when working on Kings Heath's diverse housing stock.
Modern acrylic and fibreglass baths, common in properties renovated since the 1980s, need different techniques. We use flexible repair compounds that move with the bath, preventing future cracking. This is particularly important in Kings Heath's terraced houses where slight movement is common.
Full resurfacing transforms tired, stained baths without removal. Using professional spray equipment, we apply multiple coats of specialist bathroom paint, creating a finish indistinguishable from new. This service is perfect for landlords in Kings Heath's busy rental market, providing quick turnaround between tenants.
Kings Heath's Victorian terraces, particularly around Poplar Road and Institute Road, typically feature original cast iron baths installed between 1880-1910. These substantial fixtures often weigh over 100kg, making removal extremely challenging - especially in upstairs bathrooms with narrow Victorian staircases. Our in-situ bath repair service is perfect for these properties, avoiding structural damage and preserving original features that add significant value.
The Edwardian houses near Kings Heath Park often have slightly larger bathrooms with roll-top baths positioned centrally. These statement pieces frequently suffer from enamel loss around the rim where bath salts and cleaning products concentrate. Our restoration process returns these baths to showroom condition while maintaining their antique character - essential for the area's period property market.
The 1930s expansion of Kings Heath created streets of semi-detached houses with Art Deco influenced bathrooms. Many retain original coloured bathroom suites - primrose yellow, mint green, or powder blue - that are irreplaceable today. When these unique baths chip or crack, our colour-matching expertise becomes invaluable. We've successfully matched over 50 vintage colours in Kings Heath properties over our 30 years experience.
Recent developments near the High Street and converted properties throughout Kings Heath feature contemporary bathrooms with modern acrylic or steel baths. Common issues include impact damage from dropped bottles, scratches from cleaning, and seal failures around edges.

The area's numerous flat conversions, particularly in larger Victorian properties, often have compact bathrooms where bath replacement would require removing windows or walls. Our repair service eliminates this problem entirely, completing all work in the existing space with minimal mess.
