For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pokesdown questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pokesdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
