About our bath repair in Stoke Holy Cross
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
In a village or hamlet like Stoke Holy Cross, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Older homes around Stoke Holy Cross may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a rural address like Stoke Holy Cross, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath repair comes with us in one trip.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Stoke Holy Cross
Rust usually 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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of the Holy Cross, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
