Landlords, agents and businesses in Avon

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Bath repair at your home in Avon
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Avon: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Avon
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
