How we handle bath repair in Parkgate
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Parkgate as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Parkgate: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Parkgate customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What affects the price in Parkgate
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
