Polmear: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polmear as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Polmear?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Polmear contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Polmear and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Polmear. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Polmear clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What else we do in Polmear
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
