About our bath repair in Over Compton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Over Compton as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common problems we fix in Over Compton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides

Questions from Over Compton
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What affects the price in Over Compton
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Over Compton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
