Bath repair in Portobello without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Portobello
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portobello. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WV13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Portobello
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Portobello, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Portobello. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

Signs you need bath repair in Portobello
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Portobello
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 do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Portobello?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
