Bath repair at your home in Pengegon
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 won’t last.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Pengegon questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace in Pengegon?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
