When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hopton
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hopton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Hopton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
