Bath repair in Keele, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What we are called out for in Keele
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Keele questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover Keele?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Keele and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Keele
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
