Bath repair near Clifford's Mesne

Bath repair at your home in Clifford's Mesne

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Clifford's Mesne: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clifford's Mesne. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Clifford's Mesne

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 will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You do not 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.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
