Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from West Kington
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in West Kington
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
