About our bath repair in Porlock
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Porlock
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to Porlock?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Porlock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Porlock

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Porlock. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Porlock, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Landlord and trade work in Porlock

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we’re called out for in Porlock
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
