Bath repair at your home in West Clifton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in West Clifton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Clifton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in West Clifton
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover West Clifton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to West Clifton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
