Block paving repairs in Bath: the local picture
Bath has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

What does a block paving repair involve?
Most small repairs can be priced from clear photos and a measurement. If the problem is a symptom of something deeper, such as a failed edge or a soft sub-base, we will say so rather than patching over it, and price the proper fix alongside.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
What we look at first in Bath
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Repairs in Bath: questions
Can you repair block paving in Bath without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
How much does a block paving repair cost in Bath?
Our guide is £200–£650 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
