Bath repair in Buckland St Mary without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. 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 a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Buckland St Mary and across Somerset.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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 often lifts.
Your questions about bath repair in Buckland St Mary
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckland St Mary
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we are called out for in Buckland St Mary
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
