How we handle bath repair in Butterton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Butterton questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Butterton
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butterton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Butterton
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.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
