About our bath repair in Stoke Bishop
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke Bishop. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Stoke Bishop questions
How much does bath repair cost in Stoke Bishop?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Stoke Bishop?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Signs you need bath repair in Stoke Bishop
Rust generally 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Stoke Bishop
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
