Bath repair at your home in Buckhorn Weston
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Buckhorn Weston: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buckhorn Weston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
