Bath Repair for East Stratton homes
Fixed-price bath repair in East Stratton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in East Stratton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Stratton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in East Stratton
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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 photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in East Stratton
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. 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 pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

- Let us know about parking or access
