Repairing versus replacing in Compton Pauncefoot
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle bath repair in Compton Pauncefoot
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Compton Pauncefoot
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Compton Pauncefoot. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Compton Pauncefoot, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Landlords, agents and businesses in Compton Pauncefoot
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Compton Pauncefoot
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
