What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
Bath repair in Pennington, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Pennington
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath repair cost in Pennington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For a price in Pennington, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for 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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
