How we handle bath repair in Packmoor
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Signs you need bath repair in Packmoor
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Packmoor. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Most clients in Packmoor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Packmoor questions
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.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are there extra charges for Packmoor?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
