Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Stapleford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- 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 without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Common questions in Stapleford
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stapleford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB22 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Stapleford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Stapleford
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Stapleford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
