How we handle bath repair in Botcheston
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Signs you need bath repair in Botcheston
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Botcheston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
