Landlords, agents and businesses in Didmarton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair in Didmarton without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Didmarton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common problems we fix in Didmarton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Didmarton: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Didmarton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Didmarton and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
