Bath repair in Clifton, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clifton as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Clifton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Clifton questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Clifton?
We do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Clifton
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
