We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Stank?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Signs you need bath repair in Stank
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides

Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What affects the price in Stank
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
