Signs you need bath repair in Stonham Aspal
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Stonham Aspal get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Stonham Aspal
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
