Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Bath repair at your home in Stubbins
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Stubbins
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include

- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Stubbins
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Stubbins included. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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 else we do in Stubbins
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stubbins, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 price, not an estimate.
