Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

FAQs for Stratherrick
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stratherrick?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What affects the price in Stratherrick
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Stratherrick
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
