How we handle bath repair in Stibbard
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stibbard, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Stibbard: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How much does bath repair cost in Stibbard?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Stibbard, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Stibbard
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
