Bath chip & crack repair in Forton, Telford and Wrekin
Problem with your bath in Forton? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Bath repair in Forton without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Forton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Forton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?

Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Forton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TF10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Most customers in Forton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
