Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Paxcroft Mead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Paxcroft Mead. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Paxcroft Mead questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Common problems we fix in Paxcroft Mead
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 steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
