How we handle bath repair in Stow
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Stow
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in 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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
