How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Mere
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 finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Mere
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Mere
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Mere
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
