Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Stoke St Milborough
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stoke St Milborough and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Stoke St Milborough
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in Stoke St Milborough
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Stoke St Milborough and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Stoke St Milborough: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Stoke St Milborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stoke St Milborough and the rest of Shropshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
