How we handle bath repair in Armshead
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
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 whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Armshead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath repair in Armshead
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Armshead and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.
