How we handle bath repair in Hewish
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Hewish
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hewish, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace in Hewish?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Hewish: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hewish included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
