Bath repair at your home in Apedale
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Apedale
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
