What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Bath repair at your home in Stanhope Bretby
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanhope Bretby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Stanhope Bretby
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stanhope Bretby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
