About our bath repair in Porton

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • 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.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

10 questions to ask before you book

Porton questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
