About our bath repair in Stainton Grove
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Stainton Grove
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Stainton Grove?
We do. Technicians travel to Stainton Grove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Stainton Grove
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
