Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Stoke
How much does bath repair cost in Stoke?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP11 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Stoke?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stoke. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
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.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stoke. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: 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.
What we are called out for in Stoke
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stoke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
