About our bath repair in Shernborne
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
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.

Your questions about bath repair in Shernborne
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE31 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shernborne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
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.
Common problems we fix in Shernborne
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
