Stick Hill questions

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Stick Hill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you come to Stick Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Stick Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need bath repair in Stick Hill?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stick Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Stick Hill

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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 what we repair.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stick Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
