Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair in Cothelstone, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Cothelstone
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Cothelstone?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cothelstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Cothelstone customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Cothelstone
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
