Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in East Stour, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
East Stour questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you work in East Stour?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Stour for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
