How we handle bath repair in Penny Bridge
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Penny Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Penny Bridge: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Penny Bridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Penny Bridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How much does bath repair cost in Penny Bridge?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Penny Bridge

What affects the price in Penny Bridge
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash

What we are called out for in Penny Bridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
