DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle bath repair in Middle Winsham
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small 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. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Middle Winsham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middle Winsham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Middle Winsham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Middle Winsham
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
