Bath repair at your home in Doniford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Doniford. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Doniford?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Doniford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Doniford contact us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Doniford: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
