When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bath repair at your home in Bishopston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bishopston questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in Bishopston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
