Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why St Cross clients choose us

Bath repair in St Cross without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron 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.

Do you need bath repair in St Cross?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common questions in St Cross
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in St Cross?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
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 pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in St Cross, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
