About our bath repair in Rimpton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Rimpton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Rimpton?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Rimpton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Rimpton questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the repair show?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath repair cost in Rimpton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
