How we handle bath repair in Dimsdale
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Dimsdale get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Dimsdale
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Dimsdale: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How much does bath repair cost in Dimsdale?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
