Bath chip & crack repair in Hillfields, South Gloucestershire
We travel to Hillfields for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our bath repair in Hillfields
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

When a repair is not 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
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hillfields

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Questions from Hillfields
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hillfields, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your photos

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
