About our bath repair in Burcott
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burcott as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Burcott, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burcott as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
FAQs for Burcott
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
We cover the whole UK, including Burcott and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
