About our bath repair in Wolstanton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in Wolstanton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Wolstanton?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wolstanton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Wolstanton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath repair in Wolstanton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Wolstanton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- 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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
