Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stede Quarter. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Stede Quarter, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we are called out for in Stede Quarter
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Stede Quarter
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Stede Quarter?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Stede Quarter?
We do. We send a technician to Stede Quarter for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Stede Quarter

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
