About our bath repair in Stairfoot
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Stairfoot
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Stairfoot questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Stairfoot
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- 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. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
