Bath repair across PA19: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Prices in PA19
Prices start from £95. 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.

Common problems we fix in PA19
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in PA19 and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in PA19
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
