Bath repair at your home in Hengrove
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hengrove
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Hengrove
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
