Bath repair at your home in Hanley Grange
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

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, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Hanley Grange questions
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Hanley Grange?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Hanley Grange and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
