About our bath repair in Compton Abbas
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Compton Abbas
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Compton Abbas
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How much does bath repair cost in Compton Abbas?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
