Bath Repair in Nether Compton
We travel to Nether Compton 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
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair in Nether Compton without replacing anything
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. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Nether Compton questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Nether Compton.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Nether Compton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nether Compton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we’re called out for in Nether Compton
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Nether Compton?

Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
