Questions from North Stifford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I get a price for bath repair in North Stifford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RM16 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Signs you need bath repair in North Stifford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
