Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Portfield
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.

Portfield questions
How much does bath repair cost in Portfield?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Portfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Portfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Portfield

Repair or replace in Portfield?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Common problems we fix in Portfield
Most bath damage comes from something 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 lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
