Bath repair in Stanford, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stanford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
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.

Repair or replace in Stanford?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Stanford?
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Stanford
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Stanford
Do you work in Stanford?
We do. We send a technician to Stanford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
