Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair in Armsdale without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Armsdale and across Staffordshire.

Armsdale questions
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Armsdale?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Armsdale
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
