Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need bath repair in Stone Cross

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Stone Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Stone Cross questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Stone Cross?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
