How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
About our bath repair in East Lydeard
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s 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 regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in East Lydeard
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Common questions in East Lydeard
How do I get a price for bath repair in East Lydeard?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA4 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
