Bath repair in Bridgemont without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What affects the price in Bridgemont
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bridgemont. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bridgemont, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bridgemont questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we’re called out for in Bridgemont
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
