What affects the price in Upper Pond Street
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Upper Pond Street questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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 Upper Pond Street?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Upper Pond Street

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
