Bath repair in Easton Bavents, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Easton Bavents
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
