Bath repair in Prizet, done in place
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. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prizet as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Prizet. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size

When to call us in Prizet
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Common questions in Prizet
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Prizet.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
