How we handle bath repair in Stoke Lodge
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 scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should you replace it?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common questions in Stoke Lodge
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Stoke Lodge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stoke Lodge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
