About our bath repair in Stoborough Green
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Signs you need bath repair in Stoborough Green

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
Most clients in Stoborough Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Stoborough Green questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Stoborough Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Stoborough Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
