Bath repair in The Pludds, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The Pludds questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in The Pludds?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL17 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in The Pludds
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in The Pludds
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- What it’s made of, if you know
