Bath repair at your home in Snelson
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Snelson. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Advice
What we are called out for in Snelson
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
