How we handle bath repair in Penninghame
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common questions in Penninghame
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.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you cover Penninghame?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Penninghame from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Common problems we fix in Penninghame
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
