How we handle bath repair in Stretton
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. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath repair in Stretton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps

FAQs for Stretton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE15 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Stretton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
