Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Stacksteads
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
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.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Stacksteads
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
