Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Staplecross
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Staplecross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staplecross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Staplecross: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Repairing versus replacing in Staplecross
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.
