About our bath repair in Bridgetown
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Bridgetown
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Common problems we fix in Bridgetown
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
If you are in Bridgetown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridgetown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Bridgetown
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bridgetown. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
