- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath repair in Stibb Cross without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stibb Cross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often 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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stibb Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Stibb Cross
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
