Signs you need bath repair in Stella
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns

Bath repair in Stella without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stella questions
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stella?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE21 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Can landlords and businesses in Stella book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Stella?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stella and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
