For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Isle Abbotts use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle bath repair in Isle Abbotts
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- A fixed quote before you book

Common problems we fix in Isle Abbotts
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Isle Abbotts contact us are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Isle Abbotts?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
