Signs you need bath repair in The Pry
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.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

Landlord and trade work in The Pry
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in The Pry
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in The Pry
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Pry. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in The Pry
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I get a price for bath repair in The Pry?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
