How we handle bath repair in Stowupland
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Stowupland
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stowupland use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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 generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Stowupland?
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Stowupland
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Stowupland
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
