Bath repair in Hewish, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hewish and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Do you need bath repair in Hewish?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
