We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.

FAQs for Stone Street
Is there a call-out fee?

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

When to call us in Stone Street
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Stone Street contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stone Street. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
