Bath repair in Horsebrook without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Horsebrook and across Staffordshire.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Repair or replace in Horsebrook?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Horsebrook?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST19 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
If you’re in Horsebrook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When to call us in Horsebrook
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
