Common questions in Stonesby
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stonesby?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE14 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- 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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need bath repair in Stonesby
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
