Bath repair in Somerset

How bath repair works in Somerset

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
