Bath chip & crack repair in Blackford, Somerset
Bath repair in and around Blackford: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath repair in Blackford
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why Blackford clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Questions from Blackford
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Blackford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blackford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
