Bath Repair in Pelaw
Bath repair in Pelaw without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Pelaw: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Pelaw. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Common problems we fix in Pelaw
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace in Pelaw?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
