Bath repair in Polgooth without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath repair in Polgooth
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Polgooth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the repair show?
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.
Landlord and trade work in Polgooth
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polgooth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Polgooth
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
