Bath repair at your home in Pested
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pested as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Pested?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Pested
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
