About our bath repair in Pantside

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Pantside

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Pantside

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. 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 to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
