What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What affects the price in Stanfree
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanfree use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common questions in Stanfree
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Stanfree
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
