DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath repair in Crofts End
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crofts End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Crofts End
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Crofts End?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crofts End and the rest of Bristol. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need bath repair in Crofts End?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
