Your questions about bath repair in Pamphill
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Pamphill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
