Bath repair in Panfield without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic.

Questions from Panfield
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Panfield. The price reflects:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Panfield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Panfield contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most clients in Panfield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
