Bath chip & crack repair in Stapleford, Lincolnshire
We travel to Stapleford for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair in Stapleford without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
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.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit

Common questions in Stapleford
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Stapleford and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How much does bath repair cost in Stapleford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When to call us in Stapleford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Stapleford
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
