Common questions in Henbury
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Henbury?
We do. We send a technician to Henbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Bath repair in Henbury, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Henbury
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Henbury, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Henbury
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
