Bath Repair in West Pelton
Damaged bath in West Pelton? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath repair in West Pelton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Pelton
For anyone letting property in or around West Pelton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel

- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

FAQs for West Pelton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
