Need bath repair in Stoke-upon-Trent?

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Bath repair in Stoke-upon-Trent without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath repair in Stoke-upon-Trent?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke-upon-Trent. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Stoke-upon-Trent: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you come to Stoke-upon-Trent?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stoke-upon-Trent and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Stoke-upon-Trent

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
