Common questions in Stonehills
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stonehills. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Stonehills
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. 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.

Do you need bath repair in Stonehills?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
