About our bath repair in Earl Sterndale
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 one visit. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, 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 is what we repair.
When to call us in Earl Sterndale
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
