Our bath repair service in PO5
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 day after.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in PO5, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in PO5
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
PO5: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I get a price for bath repair in PO5?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
