Bath repair at your home in Portbury
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. 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. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Portbury?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Portbury
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Portbury
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Portbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
