Bath repair in Bridge End, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in Bridge End
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bridge End?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bridge End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Bridge End
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
