Bath repair in Acton Gate without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Acton Gate
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Acton Gate questions
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
We work UK-wide, so Acton Gate is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath repair cost in Acton Gate?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
