- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Audley without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

What we’re called out for in Audley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Audley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Common questions in Audley
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
