About our bath repair in Stretton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Stretton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Stretton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
If you manage property in Stretton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Stretton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Stretton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
