Bath repair at your home in Poslingford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What else we do in Poslingford
Your questions about bath repair in Poslingford
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Poslingford included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Poslingford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Poslingford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Common problems we fix in Poslingford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Poslingford?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Poslingford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
