How we handle bath repair in Polwarth
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Polwarth
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Polwarth questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from pictures?

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Polwarth
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Polwarth. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
