About our bath repair in Steeple View
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips on the rim or sides.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Steeple View as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.

Do you need bath repair in Steeple View?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
