Bath Repair for Gratton homes
Our repair technicians come to Gratton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath repair at your home in Gratton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Do you need bath repair in Gratton?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gratton. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area

Gratton questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
How much does bath repair cost in Gratton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
