About our bath repair in Halfpenny
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Halfpenny as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Halfpenny. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs
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 early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common questions in Halfpenny
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Halfpenny is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Halfpenny?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
