Bath chip & crack repair in Stanmore, Hampshire
Problem with your bath in Stanmore? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
About our bath repair in Stanmore
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanmore and across Hampshire.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath repair in Stanmore
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stanmore. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
