Bath repair in Stratton-on-the-Fosse without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Stratton-on-the-Fosse
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps

Repair or replace in Stratton-on-the-Fosse?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stratton-on-the-Fosse
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Stratton-on-the-Fosse
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
