Questions from Stanford Rivers
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How we handle bath repair in Stanford Rivers
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stanford Rivers as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Stanford Rivers
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanford Rivers use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
