Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath repair in Clifton without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Your questions about bath repair in Clifton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
