We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Seend Cleeve
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Seend Cleeve?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Seend Cleeve from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Seend Cleeve
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seend Cleeve
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
