Bath repair in Cheddar without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in Cheddar
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you come to Cheddar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cheddar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cheddar, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Our work in Cheddar
Cheddar is about 9 miles south-east of Weston-super-Mare, in Somerset. We travel to customers in Cheddar and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. We cover 640 places across Somerset, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across BS27. Streets in the area include Station Road, Southfield and Greenhayes. Nearby, we also work in Bradley Cross (1 mile east), Nyland (2 miles south), Draycott (2 miles south-east), Rodney Stoke (3 miles south-east) and Latcham (4 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Bridgwater (14 miles south-west), Burnham-on-Sea (9 miles west), Wells (7 miles south-east), Midsomer Norton (13 miles east), Shepton Mallet (12 miles south-east) and Street (11 miles south).
Near you in Cheddar

Well-known places in the area include Goughs Motor Museum (under half a mile east) and Banwell Castle (4.4 miles north-west). The countryside around Cheddar includes Kingswood and Black Down.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Cheddar
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
