What affects the price in Hotwells
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Hotwells
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Hotwells
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Hotwells
Does someone need to be in?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are there extra charges for Hotwells?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
