Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Poughill
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poughill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Poughill
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Poughill questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
