Bath Repair for Old Passage homes
We travel to Old Passage for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Old Passage
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Old Passage
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Old Passage and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Passage
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What we’re called out for in Old Passage
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- 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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Old Passage
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
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.
