Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Upper Staploe
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Staploe
If you manage property in Upper Staploe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Staploe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Upper Staploe
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Upper Staploe, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about bath repair in Upper Staploe
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Upper Staploe?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting 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 will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath repair in Upper Staploe?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
