Bath repair at your home in Sternfield
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: 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 price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Common questions in Sternfield
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you cover Sternfield?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sternfield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Repair or replace in Sternfield?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sternfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Signs you need bath repair in Sternfield
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sternfield

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
