About our bath repair in Fenton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Fenton
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fenton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Fenton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
