Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Pontshill
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work in Pontshill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pontshill and the rest of Herefordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we are called out for in Pontshill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
