How we handle bath repair in Pratling Street
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pratling Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Pratling Street?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pratling Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
