Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For a price in Stone Cross, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What affects the price in Stone Cross
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Stone Cross: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
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.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stone Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
