How we handle bath repair in Upper Stoke
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace in Upper Stoke?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upper Stoke. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What else we do in Upper Stoke
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Stoke
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Upper Stoke
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath repair in Upper Stoke?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
