Bath repair across PH49: 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 finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Prices in PH49
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath repair
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for PH49. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
PH49 questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, PH49 included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
