How we handle bath repair in Stratton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Stratton
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you come to Stratton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stratton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Stratton
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 the part we put right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
