Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Buckland Monachorum?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buckland Monachorum. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Your questions about bath repair in Buckland Monachorum
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
