Bath repair in Stape without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stape. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: 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 no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Stape?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for Stape
How much does bath repair cost in Stape?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your YO18 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

What else we do in Stape
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Stape, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
How it works
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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
