Our bath repair service in ST5

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in ST5

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What’s near Newcastle-under-Lyme

We visit homes around Hempstalls Primary School, St John Fisher Catholic College and Blackfriars School. Other local landmarks include Saint Michael's and All Angels (less than half a mile north-east) and Old Bull's Head Inn (0.6 miles south-east). Newcastle-under-Lyme’s nearest station is Longport station, roughly 1.7 miles north-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Heighley Castle (4.4 miles west) and The Potteries Centre (2.5 miles east). Not far away are Westport Lake and Bignall Hill.

Local facilities include Audley and Bignall End (3 miles north-west)

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

Common problems we fix in ST5

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Chips on the rim or sides
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Chips under the taps
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlord and trade work in ST5

For anyone letting property in or around ST5, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Common questions in ST5

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
