Advice
How we handle bath repair in Stanks
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stanks as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stanks questions
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Can landlords and businesses in Stanks book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Stanks?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanks and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Stanks?
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while we work
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repairing versus replacing in Stanks
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
