Bath repair in Bowbridge without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Bowbridge
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bowbridge?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we’re called out for in Bowbridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Bowbridge
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
