Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together.

Bath repair in Ellicombe without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Ellicombe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Ellicombe
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Ellicombe
- Cast iron enamel

- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Ellicombe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote

What else we do in Ellicombe
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellicombe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
