Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Parkgate
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 will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parkgate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Parkgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Parkgate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Parkgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book

FAQs for Parkgate
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
