What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bath repair at your home in Ilminster
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Ilminster?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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 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 to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Ilminster
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ilminster included. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
