- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Bath repair in Stotfold Common without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Your questions about bath repair in Stotfold Common
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SG5 postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stotfold Common. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stotfold Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
