How we handle bath repair in Stanton St John
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Stanton St John
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What else we do in Stanton St John
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
