Bath repair at your home in Gratwich
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gratwich and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from Gratwich
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How much does bath repair cost in Gratwich?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ST14 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
Across the UK, so Gratwich is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic

Signs you need bath repair in Gratwich
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
