Bath chip & crack repair in Baswich, Staffordshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Baswich, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
About our bath repair in Baswich
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, 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.
Common questions in Baswich
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Baswich
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairing versus replacing in Baswich
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
