How we handle bath repair in Puddledock
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. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Puddledock. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Puddledock, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairing versus replacing in Puddledock
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Puddledock
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
