Bath chip & crack repair in Doxey, Staffordshire
Problem with your bath in Doxey? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
About our bath repair in Doxey
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Doxey and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Doxey questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
