Bath repair in Stone

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

About our bath repair in Stone

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What affects the price in Stone

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Stone: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does bath repair cost in Stone?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Stone

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Signs you need bath repair in Stone

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
