Bath repair in Bishops Lydeard, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishops Lydeard. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bishops Lydeard, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Common problems we fix in Bishops Lydeard
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Bishops Lydeard contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders

Your questions about bath repair in Bishops Lydeard
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you come to Bishops Lydeard?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bishops Lydeard and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
