About our bath repair in Stone

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

Do you need bath repair in Stone?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common reasons people in Stone contact us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Stone: your questions answered

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stone

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Stone

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

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
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
