About our bath repair in Henleaze
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. 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. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Henleaze
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Henleaze, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Advice
Repair or replace in Henleaze?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Henleaze customers choose us

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
