How we handle bath repair in Stoke Dry

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

When to call us in Stoke Dry

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stoke Dry. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Your questions about bath repair in Stoke Dry

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Stoke Dry?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you work in Stoke Dry?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stoke Dry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

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.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace in Stoke Dry?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke Dry. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
