Bath repair in Stirtloe without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Stirtloe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we are called out for in Stirtloe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Stirtloe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover Stirtloe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stirtloe and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
