Landlord and trade work in Pennywell
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Bath repair at your home in Pennywell
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Do you need bath repair in Pennywell?
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.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Pennywell
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
