Bath repair in Stubwood without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stubwood and across Staffordshire.

Stubwood: your questions answered
Do you come to Stubwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stubwood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Stubwood
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Stubwood
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stubwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
