How we handle bath repair in Pelaw
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Pelaw questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up when we finish.
Do you cover Pelaw?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pelaw. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Pelaw?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you need bath repair in Pelaw?
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
