Bath repair at your home in Peene
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Peene
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Peene. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Peene
Are there extra charges for Peene?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT18 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
