Bath chip & crack repair in Shipham, North Somerset

- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Common problems we fix in Shipham
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Bath repair in Shipham, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, 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.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Shipham
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Shipham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Shipham and the rest of North Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shipham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
