How we handle bath repair in East Chinnock
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

East Chinnock questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Chinnock. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in East Chinnock?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Chinnock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
