Questions from Combe Pafford
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Are there extra charges for Combe Pafford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Combe Pafford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Combe Pafford
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it

- Chips caused by builders

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
