What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Common questions in Stubbins
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Stubbins?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
