What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Low Ham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Low Ham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath repair in Low Ham, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

When to call us in Low Ham
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
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 early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
