How we handle bath repair in Stockingford

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Stockingford

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When to call us in Stockingford

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
