Bath chip & crack repair in Ashill, Somerset
Our technicians come to Ashill for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Bath repair in Ashill, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Ashill
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Ashill
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When to call us in Ashill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For a price in Ashill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Repair or replace in Ashill?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
