Repair or replace in Stone Cross?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stone Cross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Stone Cross
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Stone Cross contact us are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
