Shelton questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Shelton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the entire of Stoke-on-Trent?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Bath repair in Shelton without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Shelton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Shelton
Repairing versus replacing in Shelton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shelton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
