DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath repair in Comberford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Comberford
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish

What we are called out for in Comberford
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Comberford
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Comberford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your B79 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Comberford: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Comberford. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
