Bath repair in Lamyatt without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lamyatt and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Lamyatt
For anyone letting property in or around Lamyatt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Your questions about bath repair in Lamyatt
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Do you need bath repair in Lamyatt?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
