Your questions about bath repair in Pell Green
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN5 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What else we do in Pell Green
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
