Bath repair at your home in Stanway
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stanway as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Do you need bath repair in Stanway?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Stanway
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Stanway questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Stanway. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanway
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Stanway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
