Bath repair in Pettaugh without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Repair or replace in Pettaugh?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pettaugh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Pettaugh
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Pettaugh
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
