Bath chip & crack repair in Meadgate West, Bath and North East Somerset
Our repair technicians come to Meadgate West for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair at your home in Meadgate West
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Meadgate West and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Meadgate West
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
