How we handle bath repair in North Stainley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in North Stainley
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in North Stainley
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for North Stainley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
