Bath repair across Tuppenhurst and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Tuppenhurst, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Tuppenhurst: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
When to call us in Tuppenhurst
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Tuppenhurst
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Tuppenhurst?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
