Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Pooley Bridge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath repair at your home in Pooley Bridge
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Pooley Bridge questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you come to Pooley Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pooley Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for 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 you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
