Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Peterborough. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Peterborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath repair in Peterborough
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Peterborough: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Peterborough?
We do. We send a technician to Peterborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
