How to get a fixed price

How we handle bath repair in Stratford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stratford as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. 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.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Common questions in Stratford
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath repair in Stratford?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
