Bath chip & crack repair in Brinscombe, Somerset
Damaged bath in Brinscombe? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Brinscombe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Brinscombe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Brinscombe
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Your questions about bath repair in Brinscombe
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What we’re called out for in Brinscombe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
