About our bath repair in Old Cleeve
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Old Cleeve, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace in Old Cleeve?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Old Cleeve is about 5 miles south-east of Minehead, in Somerset. We travel to clients in Old Cleeve and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover all 640 towns and villages in Somerset.
Every address in TA24 is within our area. Local streets include Monks' Path and Dairylands, and we cover them all. Nearby, we also work in Chapel Cleeve (1 mile north), Washford (1 mile south-east), Bilbrook (1 mile south-west), Torre (1 mile south) and Roadwater (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Minehead (5 miles north-west), Wellington (15 miles south-east), Comeytrowe (15 miles south-east), Wiveliscombe (9 miles south), Williton (3 miles east) and Bishops Lydeard (11 miles south-east).

Common problems we fix in Old Cleeve
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
Questions from Old Cleeve
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Old Cleeve is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Old Cleeve?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
