For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to compare quotes

Combe St Nicholas questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you work in Combe St Nicholas?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Combe St Nicholas. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
