Bath chip & crack repair in Churchstoke, Powys
Bath repair in and around Churchstoke: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Bath repair at your home in Churchstoke
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Churchstoke: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath 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.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Churchstoke
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Churchstoke?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
