Bath repair for Stafford homes

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we handle bath repair in Stafford

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Stafford

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Stafford: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

Across the UK, so Stafford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath repair in Stafford?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Stafford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stafford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
