Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Common questions in Stoke Doyle
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Stoke Doyle?
We do. Technicians travel to Stoke Doyle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Stoke Doyle
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repair or replace in Stoke Doyle?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Doyle use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Stoke Doyle
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Stoke Doyle, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
