How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Bath repair in Stocks Green, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Stocks Green
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Stocks Green clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What else we do in Stocks Green
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Stocks Green
Do you work in Stocks Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stocks Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
