Bath chip & crack repair in Southville, Bristol
Problem with your bath in Southville? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bath repair in Southville without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Do you need bath repair in Southville?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in Southville
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year

- Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
