Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle bath repair in Tunstall
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When to call us in Tunstall
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Tunstall contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What affects the price in Tunstall
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
