Bath repair in Forncett St Mary without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Forncett St Mary and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Forncett St Mary
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Getting a price from pictures

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forncett St Mary
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Forncett St Mary

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Forncett St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
