Bath repair at your home in Farley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Farley?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Farley: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Farley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Farley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Farley?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
