How we handle bath repair in Pennygate
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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 will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Pennygate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Pennygate
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

Pennygate questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and 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, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
