Bath chip & crack repair in Stapenhill, Staffordshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Stapenhill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Stapenhill
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Stapenhill
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Stapenhill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stapenhill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Signs you need bath repair in Stapenhill
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Stapenhill clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking

What affects the price in Stapenhill
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stapenhill. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
