How we handle bath repair in Horninglow
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Signs you need bath repair in Horninglow
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Horninglow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Horninglow
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Horninglow?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Horninglow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Horninglow and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
