DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Combe Fishacre without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Combe Fishacre
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Combe Fishacre
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Combe Fishacre
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Combe Fishacre, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Combe Fishacre clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Combe Fishacre
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. 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. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
