What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Stephen as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
St Stephen: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does bath repair cost in St Stephen?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL26 postcode.
Do you come to St Stephen?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Stephen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
