How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Bath repair in Chewton Mendip without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Chewton Mendip
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Chewton Mendip?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chewton Mendip. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What affects the price in Chewton Mendip
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chewton Mendip. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chewton Mendip. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
