Bath repair in Athelney without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Athelney and across Somerset.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Athelney, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Athelney. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Signs you need bath repair in Athelney
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in Athelney
How much does bath repair cost in Athelney?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA7 postcode.
Do you cover Athelney?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Athelney. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Athelney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
