Bath Repair in Kidsgrove
We travel to Kidsgrove for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath repair in Kidsgrove
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kidsgrove: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
