Bath repair at your home in Castle Cary
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Castle Cary
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Castle Cary?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Castle Cary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle Cary use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Castle Cary
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in Castle Cary
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
