Bath repair in Abbas Combe without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbas Combe
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Abbas Combe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Abbas Combe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Abbas Combe. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Abbas Combe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
