Bath repair in Sticker, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sticker and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Sticker
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Sticker
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Sticker?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Sticker?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sticker for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Signs you need bath repair in Sticker
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
