Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
About our bath repair in Pennington
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Pennington
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pennington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Pennington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
