What affects the price in Poolfold
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Poolfold. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath repair in Poolfold, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Poolfold: your questions answered
Do you come to Poolfold?
We do. We send a technician to Poolfold for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poolfold
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
