Bath repair in Walton-on-the-Hill

About our bath repair in Walton-on-the-Hill

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Common questions in Walton-on-the-Hill

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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’s what we repair.
