- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is

Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Totterdown
Rust normally 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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath repair in Totterdown
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Totterdown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Totterdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
