About our bath repair in Lower Weare
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Lower Weare: your questions answered
Do you come to Lower Weare?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lower Weare. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Lower Weare?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lower Weare.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
When to call us in Lower Weare
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Lower Weare
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
