- Repairs from £95

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Burrowbridge?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Burrowbridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath repair in Burrowbridge
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
