About our bath repair in Fishponds
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fishponds as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath repair in Fishponds
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Gloucestershire.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

What we are called out for in Fishponds
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fishponds. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
