Common problems we fix in Stewartby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Stewartby, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your MK43 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Stewartby
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What areas do you cover?
All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Stewartby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stewartby and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in Stewartby?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
