When to call us in Portvoller
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, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Bath repair in Portvoller without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Portvoller as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath repair in Portvoller
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Repair or replace in Portvoller?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
