Bath repair across ST8: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Near you in Biddulph
Typical jobs here are in homes near Biddulph Valley Park, Royal Oak pub and Kingsfield First School and the streets around them. You will also find Biddulph Methodist Church (within half a mile north-west) and Biddulph High School (0.8 miles south). The nearest railway station is Congleton station, about 3 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Haywood Hospital (4.2 miles south) and Mow Cop Chapel Museum (1.9 miles west). For a walk, there is Astbury Mere and Limekiln Wood Nature Reserve.
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
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Common problems we fix in ST8
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in ST8 contact us are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Your questions about bath repair in ST8
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
