About our bath repair in Affpuddle
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Affpuddle
Are there extra charges for Affpuddle?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
