Bath repair in Stockcross, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Stockcross
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Stockcross
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
FAQs for Stockcross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
