Bath repair in Stileway, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Stileway?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Stileway questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
