Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ham. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Ham questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Ham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ham and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Ham
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- 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. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
