Your questions about bath repair in Stoke
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Stoke?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stoke for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we handle bath repair in Stoke
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stoke. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we’re called out for in Stoke
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Stoke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
