Bath repair in Pennycross without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Pennycross
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Do you need bath repair in Pennycross?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Pennycross
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pennycross. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace in Pennycross?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Pennycross clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
