How we handle bath repair in Barlaston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Barlaston
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Barlaston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barlaston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Barlaston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barlaston as well as householders. 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. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
