Bath repair at your home in Stapleford
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Stapleford
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath repair in Stapleford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Stapleford?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Stapleford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Stapleford
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
