What we’re called out for in Stoney Stoke

The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Bath repair in Stoney Stoke, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Stoney Stoke questions
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Landlord and trade work in Stoney Stoke
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoney Stoke use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
