Puddle Town: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
About our bath repair in Puddle Town
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Puddle Town
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Puddle Town, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Puddle Town?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
