About our bath repair in Stockley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Stockley?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel

FAQs for Stockley
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairing versus replacing in Stockley
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stockley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
