About our bath repair in Burcot
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Burcot
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you work in Burcot?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burcot from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burcot
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Burcot customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally 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.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Burcot
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
