What your bath is made of matters
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. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Back o'th' Brook
For anyone letting property in or around Back o'th' Brook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Questions from Back o'th' Brook
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
