Bath repair for Hartshill homes

About our bath repair in Hartshill

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hartshill as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Your questions about bath repair in Hartshill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartshill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Hartshill

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Hartshill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
