The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our bath repair in Petteridge
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Petteridge: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Petteridge?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Petteridge
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job

What else we do in Petteridge
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Petteridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Petteridge. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Petteridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
