Bath repair in Stocking Pelham without replacing anything
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. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Stocking Pelham
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Stocking Pelham
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stocking Pelham. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stocking Pelham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stocking Pelham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Stocking Pelham
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
