What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Clifton questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Clifton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
