Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Mere
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Mere
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mere. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
