What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath repair at your home in Burtle

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Signs you need bath repair in Burtle

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath repair in Burtle

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Burtle?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burtle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
