About bath repair in BS13
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in BS13
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in BS13
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
For landlords and businesses

FAQs for BS13
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
