About our bath repair in Lower Writhlington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Writhlington and across Somerset.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Lower Writhlington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site

Lower Writhlington: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Lower Writhlington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Writhlington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Lower Writhlington
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
