Common questions in Pennington
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pennington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Bath repair in Pennington, done in place
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Do you need bath repair in Pennington?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
