Bath chip & crack repair in Mile Oak, Staffordshire
We travel to Mile Oak for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair in Mile Oak, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mile Oak as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Mile Oak
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mile Oak as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we are called out for in Mile Oak
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Mile Oak questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
