Bath repair in Stratton St Margaret without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
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 is the part we put right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stratton St Margaret. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
