DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath repair in Bell End
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Bell End
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bell End. The price reflects:

- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath

FAQs for Bell End
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace in Bell End?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
