Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
About our bath repair in Stubb's Cross
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Stubb's Cross
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
