Bath repair in Stronord, done in place
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. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stronord as everywhere else we work.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Stronord
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stronord. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Questions from Stronord
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Stronord?
We do. Technicians travel to Stronord from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
