About bath repair in PL4
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to PL4. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in PL4 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in PL4
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Landlord and trade work in PL4
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath repair in PL4
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
