About our bath repair in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
