What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Clyst St Mary
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Your questions about bath repair in Clyst St Mary
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to Clyst St Mary?
We do. Technicians travel to Clyst St Mary from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
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 a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
