Bath repair in Winterbourne, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

What we’re called out for in Winterbourne
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Winterbourne
Do you cover Winterbourne?
We do. Technicians travel to Winterbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
