Bath repair across PH20: what to expect
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repair or replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in PH20
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for PH20. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
PH20 questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
