What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Pontesford questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath repair cost in Pontesford?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Pontesford?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Pontesford
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace in Pontesford?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pontesford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
