What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

About our bath repair in Stone
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S66 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Stone
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
