Bath chip & crack repair in Higher Halsway, Somerset
Our repair technicians come to Higher Halsway for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we handle bath repair in Higher Halsway
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Halsway
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Higher Halsway
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What else we do in Higher Halsway
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Higher Halsway
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repair or replace in Higher Halsway?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Higher Halsway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
