FAQs for Palgrave
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
About our bath repair in Palgrave
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Palgrave, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Palgrave
Most bath damage 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.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What else we do in Palgrave
Repairing versus replacing in Palgrave
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Palgrave. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
