Bishopsworth: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
About our bath repair in Bishopsworth
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What affects the price in Bishopsworth
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Bishopsworth
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Look out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
