Bath repair in Stoney Stanton, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Stoney Stanton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Stoney Stanton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoney Stanton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Stoney Stanton questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
