Common problems we fix in St Stephens
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit

Questions from St Stephens
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around St Stephens, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in St Stephens?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in St Stephens
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Stephens. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
