We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath repair in Smith's End without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Smith's End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Do you work in Smith's End?

Are there extra charges for Smith's End?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Smith's End included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Smith's End?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
