Bath repair at your home in Paulton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Paulton
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, 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 photo.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we are called out for in Paulton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Paulton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
