Bath repair in Littleworth without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Littleworth

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Littleworth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

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 is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Littleworth

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ST16 postcode.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Littleworth

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
