Landlord and trade work in Bepton Common
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Bepton Common
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bepton Common: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bepton Common. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
