What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
FAQs for Stillingfleet
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Stillingfleet?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you come to Stillingfleet?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stillingfleet and the rest of York. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Stillingfleet
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
