Pollards Hill: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Pollards Hill?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Bath repair at your home in Pollards Hill
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you are in Pollards Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Pollards Hill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath repair in Pollards Hill?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
