Portwood questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Portwood?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SK1 postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle bath repair in Portwood
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Portwood
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Portwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For anyone letting property in or around Portwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Signs you need bath repair in Portwood
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
