Bath repair in Filton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Filton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Filton contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Filton: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Filton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Filton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
