Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Bath repair at your home in Pict's Hill
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landmarks near Pict's Hill
In Pict's Hill, that means homes near The Rose And Crown Inn, Huish Episcopi Primary School and Huish Episcopi Academy. For a walk, there’s West Sedgemoor RSPB reserve.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Pict's Hill?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Pict's Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Pict's Hill
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
