What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kilve. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Kilve, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Kilve
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Signs you need bath repair in Kilve
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
