Bath repair in Horfield, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Horfield questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Horfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Horfield and the rest of Bristol. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horfield. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Do you need bath repair in Horfield?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
