When to call us in Princetown
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Bath repair in Princetown without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Questions from Princetown
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Princetown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP22 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Princetown.
Is my repair covered?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Princetown. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Princetown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
