Your questions about bath repair in Combe
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
