Bath repair at your home in Alhampton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Alhampton and across Somerset.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Alhampton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Alhampton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Alhampton: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Alhampton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace in Alhampton?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
