Bath repair in Buscott, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

FAQs for Buscott
How do I get a price for bath repair in Buscott?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
We do not add 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Other services in Buscott
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
