Bath repair in Pool, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pool as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace in Pool?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Pool
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Common questions in Pool
Do you come to Pool?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pool from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How much does bath repair cost in Pool?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pool. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
