Common questions in Henstridge Bowden
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work in Henstridge Bowden?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Henstridge Bowden and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Bath repair in Henstridge Bowden, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
