Bath repair at your home in Poundffald
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Poundffald
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Poundffald, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
