How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath repair in Pelton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Pelton?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Pelton
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pelton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you need bath repair in Pelton?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
