How we handle bath repair in The Pound
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in The Pound
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking

- Aftercare advice

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
The Pound: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover The Pound?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Pound from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
